Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry semi-finished kupaty in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary products. Kupati are Georgian spicy raw sausages made from different types of meat in a natural casing made from pork intestine. They can be grilled, boiled or fried. To prepare kupat in a frying pan, take fresh or frozen semi-finished products. You can take clean tap water. Vegetable oil — any refined, odorless oil.

Step 2

Step 2
If you have frozen semi-finished products, defrost them. To do this, remove them from the freezer 6 hours before. If the room is hot, leave the baths in the refrigerator. As a rule, kupats that are sold in packages are ready for cooking. But if you bought kupats in bulk at the market or damaged the packaging, carefully rinse them with running water and dry them. Carefully, so as not to damage the casing, cut them so that one sausage remains.

Step 3

Step 3
To prepare, you will need a frying pan with a thick bottom and high walls, approximately 20 cm in diameter. In such a frying pan, the kupats will cook evenly and will not dry out if you follow the recipe. Pour water into a cold frying pan and spread the kupats evenly. If you use a larger frying pan, keep in mind that you will need more water than indicated. Pour so that the baths are half in the water.

Step 4

Step 4
Bring water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium. Cook the kupats for about 4 minutes and turn them over to the other side. Cook until the water has almost completely evaporated.

Step 5

Step 5
Add vegetable oil and fry for about 10 minutes. It is important not to miss a moment so that the sausages do not stick to the bottom of the pan. Otherwise, the delicate shell of the intestine may tear, the filling will leak out and the kupats will be spoiled. Use a toothpick to pierce the shell in several places to prevent the kupats from bursting.

Step 6

Step 6
To ensure that the kupats are evenly fried on all sides, turn the heat below medium and turn them often. When they are well browned, the kupats are ready. Bon appetit!
